Left footed Wizard #26 joins SFC’s Super Coaches List
Singapore Football Club (SFC) is delighted to announce that ex Singaporean national team player Shahfiq Ghani will be joining the club, as a Senior Coach.
As part of Singapore Football Club’s continued commitment, to developing Singapore’s next generation of football talent, Shahfiq will work alongside SFC’s Academy Director, Syed Karim and former national team Captain Shahril Ishak, in developing SFC’s Pathways & Opportunities programme for the club’s academy players.
A crucial member of Singapore’s Lions XII, Shahfiq scored 5 goals in 13 games to help secure the Malaysia Super League in 2013. At the same time his reputation as an expert, left footed free kick specialist grew. In that same year, Shahfiq was also a member of the Singapore U23 team that clinched Bronze in the SEA Games. Other notable silverware includes winning the Singapore Cup with Hougang alongside international team mate and captain Shahril Ishak, in 2022.
In his new role Shahfiq will oversee SFC’s U11 boys team programme, working alongside SFC’s Academy Director, Syed Karim, who is also responsible for SFC’s “Pathways & Opportunities” programme. Shahfiq will also be working in tandem with former Warriors Captain Zulfadli Zainal in building out SFC’s rapidly expanding SFC Girls Programme.
Coach Karim commented: “Having Shahfiq joining the club shows the calibre of coaches and players we now have at Singapore Football Club (SFC). Shahfiq brings enthusiasm, passion and a technical ability that can’t be matched. Crucially he also brings professional standards that we insist on at SFC. We are lucky to have him.”
SFC’s Pathways & Opportunities programme ranges from helping six year old boys and girls, just starting out in the club’s grassroots programmes, to ensuring that SFC’s competitive players have pathways through to Singapore Football Club’s men and women’s teams – and ultimately beyond. All with a view to strengthen Singapore’s grassroots football.
“This is a great club to be joining. The professionalism that SFC brings is first class; just look at the staff and players we have here. I am delighted to be joining SFC.” commented Shahfiq Ghani.
Singapore Football Club is one for Singapore’s fastest growing sports clubs that includes multiple men’s teams, a women’s team and an academy that works alongside five partner schools as part of the club’s strong commitment to Singapore’s grassroots football. The club’s academy caters for girls and boys between the ages of six up to nineteen years old.
The club has three main focuses:
1). Providing Pathways: Empowering players to fulfil their personal objectives
2). Providing Opportunities: Enabling Singaporeans of any age, or ability, to have the opportunity to play football
3). Character Development: Developing positive character traits, so that their young members can thrive on and off the pitch
